The European Union is a political and economic union in Europe of which 28 European states are members. The EU has enacted various policies to ensure the free movement of people, capital, goods and services through its internal market. This internal market uses a system of standardised laws that apply in all member states to facilitate free trade. The EU established a monetary union in 1999, and the union began to use the shared currency, the euro, in 2002. 19 member states use the euro, while other member states have elected to keep their currencies.

The euro is the world’s second most widely traded currency behind the U.S. Dollar. The euro can be subdivided into 100 smaller units of currency called cents. The euro is also one of the globe’s largest reserve currencies, and its use as a reserve currency is second only to the dollar. The total value of euro coin and paper currency in circulation has surpassed the dollar.

The ECB has several key responsibilities outside of currency issuance and maintenance. One of the central bank’s primary objectives is to promote price stability within the region. The ECB has an interesting set up, in that it resembles a corporation with member states acting as shareholders.
